Teleoperated: I have to say, Robonauts would take the teleoperated period based off of their ability to fire off full court. Titanium, while bringing a strong, accurate shooter to the table, have not yet shown off an ability to fire full court. In this one on one, Robonauts do not have to worry about heavy defense, so they would be able to fire off all 45 discs for an easy 135 points, and have time to spare to get in place for a climb. Titanium requires a 4 disc cycle, and as stated, they have a 17 second cycle. As they also need some climb time, that affords them 5 cycles, for 60 points.
Titanium - 102pts
Robonauts - 153pts.

End Game: Robonauts might just take the end game, and for one very specific reason. Colored discs. As Titanium climbs on the inside, it would be difficult for them in their current configuration to score the colored discs. Robonauts, however, climb on the outside and would be easily able to "punt" the colored discs in and I would be surprised if they do not. But, as this ability has not been shown yet, I am unable to award them the extra 20 points, *as their shooter faces the wrong direction. Thus, each robot receives 30 points.

I imagine that in this hypothetical match titanium would just sit and block 118, instead of attempting to score. Full court shooting from that low is pretty easy to stop.
Even in this hypothetical scenario it would still be much closer than you make it out to be. And if I was selecting for a real world alliance 1986 would win out in my books.
